Yes they deserve it but the tax implied to their money is unfair. Fortunately when Bitcoin rose up, I sold most of it before the government began regulating Bitcoins and taxing Bitcoins when the holder holds a taxable amount of Bitcoins.
Um, there is never a time when bitcoin trading gains were not taxable. It falls under the rule of capital gain just like anything esle like if you were to turn a profit on a house or gold or pokemon cards. I paid my taxes stating in 2013. Lets hope you dont get audited.
